Autism & Intellectual Disability

We provide in-home and community supports funded by the Consolidated, Person/Family Directed Service and Community Supports Waivers, such as supporting someone to successfully engage within their community, learn new skills, and participate in new experiences.

 

As defined by Office of Developmental Programs: In-Home and Community Support is a direct service provided in home and community settings to assist participants in acquiring, maintaining and improving the skills to live in the community, to live more independently, and to participate meaningfully in community life. Services consist of assistance, support & guidance (physical assistance, instruction, prompting, modeling, & reinforcement) in the general areas of self-care, health maintenance, decision making, home management, managing personal resources, communication, mobility & transportation, relationship development & socialization, personal adjustment, participating in community functions & activities & use of community resources. The type & amount of assistance, support & guidance are informed by the assessed need for physical, psychological & emotional assistance established through the assessment & person-centered planning processes. The type & amount of assistance are delivered to enhance the autonomy of the participant, in line with his or her personal preferences & desired outcomes.
